Cyclohexylamine
Cyclohexylamine and cyclanic monoamines, derivatives
HSN 2921 30 10 (Cyclohexylamine) is subject to Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC) registration and import permit under the Insecticides Act, 1968, where the substance figures in the Schedule to that Act. Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Rules, 1985 import-certificate conditions and Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) ITC (HS) policy controls — including Chemical Weapons Convention overlay for scheduled nitrogen-mustard analogues — apply as additional clearance requirements.
- Registration certificate from CIB&RC
- Import permit from CIB&RC
- Import certificate from NDPS
Procedural directions for customs clearance are issued by: Directorate General of Foreign Trade, Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs.
- 1Where cyclohexylamine or any co-classified substance under this CTI figures in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968, obtain registration and an import permit from the Secretariat of the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee before filing the bill of entry. Import is permissible only at ports specified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971.Insecticides Act, 1968 · Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971
- 2Where the imported substance is an NDPS-scheduled item for medical or scientific purposes, obtain an import certificate under Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 from the Narcotics Commissioner before shipment. Imports outside the medical/scientific category are governed by Appendix I to the ITC (HS) Schedule per policy condition 2 to Chapter 29.Chapter VII-A and Rule 53 of the NDPS Rules, 1985 · ITC (HS) policy condition 2 to Chapter 29
- 3Ensure the bill of entry includes mandatory additional qualifiers for Chapter 29 commodities as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 of CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023, applicable with effect from 15-10-2023. Additionally, confirm whether the consignment triggers the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 obligation for specified hazardous substances exceeding notified quantities under S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992.CBIC Circular 23/2023-Cus dated 30-09-2023 · S.O. 227(E) dated 24-03-1992
The most common error on this tariff line is treating CIB&RC and NDPS as mutually exclusive tracks — assuming that if one regime does not apply, no PGA clearance is needed. Cyclohexylamine co-classifies with CWC-scheduled nitrogen-mustard analogues; a consignment that includes any Category IB substance listed in Appendix II to ITC (HS) Schedule I requires import exclusively from State Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention, and failure to verify origin before shipment results in consignment detention and potential confiscation under the ITC (HS) Restricted-import enforcement.
